As far as schedule reductions, I know direct service to and from BGR out of CVG are history. JAX, SAV, and CHS is reduced. I'm not sure what other routes are effected.
Obviously this hasn't been updated on the DL schedule, yet. I just downloaded the new schedule. Still showing one daily flight to BGR with an increase to 2 daily flights starting in June. I did see that we are taking over a "few" CHQ flights (ER3) in Apirl. Going back into EVV out of CVG. Also taking over a CHA flight. When I first heard that DL is lauching JFK-IAH, it was first shown as a Comair flight when I checked a few weeks ago, but it has now changed to a Freedom flight. We will still be doing JFK-MSP come June. Freedom however is taking over a few more JFK-ORD flights. I'm dissapointed to see more and more Freedom CRJ-900s operating in CVG (CVG-ORD-JFK, CVG-DTW). Hopefully we will get some of the Freedom CRJ-900 flying and as DL continues to get rid of the ERJ-135s for CHQ out of CVG, we will be covering some of those flights in the CRJ-200. We've been doing quite a bit of flying out of ATL on the 70/90 this month, hopefully that will continue, as SkyWest continues to shift their CRJ-900s back to the West Coast.
P.S: Next Net Conference scheduled from 1 to 2 p.m. on Tuesday, April 8.
